Fear is a Rapist with papers–
Convicted sex offender–
So, keep your distance.
Listen, I know–
I have a witness
From the stars
And evidence–
Exhibit A:
My rectal scars.

Fear is a Rapist–a vicious
Natural Born menace–
Keep your distance.
Listen, I know–
And so does
Miss Mallory,
While she takes shots
From the pistol
At the gallery.

Fear is a Rapist that slithers–
Slips mickies in an instant–
Keep your distance.
Listen, I know–
It can strip
A body naked–
Just face it:
We don’t
Have to take it.
